Neo-Nazis Swarm Home of New England Governor
Neo-Nazis Swarm Home of New England Governor
Massachusetts filed civil rights charges against the hate group. NSC-131 demonstrators unfurled a banner reading: “We’re not going anywhere.”
Comment on Headline: I don't know if swarm is the right word, I think that implies they entered the home? I guess a group of insects is a swarm whether it's inside or out. They had their Nazi party in the street, and the governor's home is protected at all times by state police.

Dozens of Neo-Nazis demonstrated outside the home of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) on Saturday night, in an intimidating display of hate. Members of the group NSC-131 — which seeks to create a white-only ethnostate in New England — marched Saturday night through the Boston suburb of Arlington, uniformed in khakis, black jackets, face masks, and baseball caps.
The NSC-131 members moved under cover of darkness, co-opting the progressive activist chant, “Whose streets? Our streets!” The neo-Nazis then lined up on the sidewalk across the street from the Healey’s home, which was protected by state troopers. The group’s members lit red traffic flares, and held these aloft with stiff arm Hitler salutes. They unfurled a banner reading: “WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.”
The action by NSC-131 was an in-the-streets response to civil rights charges brought against the group by the state late last year. A 26-page complaint was lodged by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell (D) in December. Campbell denounced the group’s efforts to “target and terrorize people across Massachusetts and interfere with their rights,” and insisted the state of Massachusetts is dedicated to “holding this neo-Nazi group and its leaders accountable.”
That legal complaint hits NSC-131 for actions that “unlawfully target and disrupt LGBTQ+ events,” including drag queen story hours; “unlawfully target immigrants based on race and national origin,” including by trespassing at hotels where asylum seekers have been offered temporary housing; “unlawfully attack members of the public,” with frequent brawling at NSC-131 marches; and for numerous efforts to “disrupt public peace and safety.”

Maura Healy was an aggressive lawyer for a long time before she was governor. I'm sure the AG is no exception.
Interesting that they think they are the ones not going anywhere in the state where America drew its first breath of liberty. Fuck Nazis.
You're viewing a single thread.
We are being entirely too polite to these assholes. Our grandfathers would be ashamed of us.
My grandfather voted for brexit because he hates immigrants so idk
Family can be a real crapshoot.
Lol. The UK sent millions of poor immigrants to the US for like 300 years. Getting a few back shouldn't be that big of a deal.
How often did he visit Spain on holiday prior to Brexit?
Actually not much, he prefers Portugal 😭😭😭
With 40% of the population supporting these rancid fascist fucknuggets there's no meaningful way to deplatform them and they know it. They need fear beaten back into them.
And yet if you, as a leftist, suggest that we should be arming ourselves like our enemies who have openly said they want to kill us, you'll be called a redneck gun nut, Russian troll, and/or fake leftist.
I have not seen this argument you claim. If a liberal wants to own a gun, they can own a gun. Genuine leftists, particularly of the seize-the-means-of-production sort, are also not exactly unfamiliar with violence.
Perhaps you are hanging out with ... trolls?
Or perhaps actually calling for violence, which would get your comments removed, on here at least?
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”
― Karl MarxYou know, I've never done that or even suggested that people on the left should not have guns, yet I remember people here (and I'm pretty sure you were one of them) telling me that's what I wanted because they decided that something like me saying "I think there should be heavier regulations" or "maybe guns should be kept out of the hands of people who have been institutionalized for mental illness" means I want everyone's gun to be seized by Trump personally.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !liberalgunowners@lemmy.world
Where?
Those folks have clearly never met a real redneck, let alone a socialist one. I dream of the day when there are more privately owned functional artillery pieces in the US than people. Imagine if unions could just blast away Pinkertons, Scabs, and Police with high explosive shells.
Also corporations and police shouldnt even be allowed to own guns, fuck you fight me!
Fuck our grandparents, they tilled the soil that grew this hate. It's our children we should think of... how would they feel about what we're doing about this problem.
My grandfather shot Nazis and my grandmother smuggled draftees across the border to Canada. Maybe you're just from poor stock.
Unfortunately though they are outliers. Not common or the rule. A far too large part of that generation despite fighting fascists overseas, voted almost exclusively for fascists locally. For decades. Pre 1964 it was honestly a rough choice. I'll give them that much. You had the fascistic Republicans chock full of antisemites and Hitler sympathizers. Who in the 1930s had gotten caught, forming a fascist plot to depose FDR. End the new deal, and turn America into a business friendly fascist dictatorship. Or the extremely bigoted Dixiecrats to choose between.
Post 1964 it quickly became more and more unjustifiable to vote for Republicans. But they still did. In droves even. Between Nixon and Reagan the breaks came off. With the folksy fascist winning in an electoral landslide. Doing so much deep lasting damage that we're still assessing the damage to this day. Terrifying Democrats for 2 generations now and cowing them into nothing more than complicit, milquetoast enablers.
Don't get me wrong, I vote against Republicans in every election. Which generally means voting for Democrats. Who often don't even run at the state and local level here for many offices. But America, for the last 100 years has absolutely let fascism openly fester.
Spoken like a true white supremacist. Fuck old people, and certainly don't give a fuck about the dead. The past is gone and the future is bleak.
touch grass
Cry more.
You think white supremacists shot Nazis...? I mean, yeah, I guess the most famous Nazi ended up shooting himself, that might count. Kinda.
Or do you think only white supremacists care about history? Really curious about this line of reasoning.
As a side note, falling into despair is exactly what the fascists want of you. It keeps you out of their way, which helps them.
. Maybe you’re just from poor stock.
consistency please
They have a point. Calling your progenitors poor stock if they enabled racists is valid. What are you going to do about it other than sling mud at others?
Ah, interesting. Values handed down through cultures and families are a thing though, given Nazi shooting is a behavior and set of values, that was how I interpreted it.
Incidentally, your font size does not exactly have the impact you might think, we're not all a bunch of teens here.
War hero and draft dodger supporter. Bet your grandfather was proud to know your grandmother helped cowards.
I mean, he was driving the car most of the time from my understanding. So, while I don't accept the premise of your question; yes, he was proud of her.
You care too much what strangers think of you and your family.
I don’t think you’re in a position to know how much or little I am invested in this exchange.
Thank you for showing us who you are. Blocked.
As proud as any tRump supporter right?
